Hi,

  In the document "IP Next Generation Overview" by Robert M. Hinden
it states in section 9.1 (sixth paragraph) that 
"All packets belonging to the same flow must be sent with the 
same source address, same destination address, and same 
non-zero flow label.".

That seems logical.

But in paragraph 4 it says that "A flow is uniquely identified by the 
combination of a source address and a non-zero flow label."

Shouldn't that also include the destination address?  Otherwise
those two statements are in contradiction.
